People! Paris is not all about the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame! There's so much to see, like this Arab Museum, where there are some fascinating exhibits, and this time we went we joined the "Arab Paris" tour around the city which was fascinating.

Lovely re-purposing of a station, so much to see and do here and the whole feel of the place is so much more relaxed than the frantic WE HAVE TO SEE IT ALL pace of the Louvre. Great collection, and they always have fun and exciting temporary exhibits too.

Now I know that in Paris there are hundreds of museums competing for your attention, but try this one. It's a world of non-europen culture housed in an amazing building, totally unforgettble. As a little taster they have ethiopian frescoes and vietnamese costumes!

37-55 Quai Branly, just around the corner from the Eiffel Tower

It's huge and busy but it's really one of the must-dos of going to Paris. The Mona Lisa is quite tiny but definitely worth seeing over everybody's heads and there's so much to see it's worth spending 5 minutes to make a plan with your viewing buddies to cut out some aimless wandering time!!

This old railway station is a completely beautiful museum. I love the varity in the collection and the place isn't so huge you feel overwhelmed, and so you can take time to really enjoy all the separate parts. Best bit was the monets but it's really a close call.
